Special Religious Education (SRE) plays an important role in the education of children in public schools. Students find this a caring and supportive place to have their questions answered, with additional support and care provided to students. At our two local High Schools, Warners Bay High and Belmont High, SRE continues to be taught to Year 7 students who opt in to lessons. |
WARNERS BAY HIGH SCHOOL
Sara Cooper is employed 2 days per week to teach the students at Warners Bay High. In Term 1, Sara has been on Long Service Leave and we celebrate her faithfulness to teaching the Gospel. She returns in Term 2. SRE student numbers are expected to remain at 20-25 for Term 2, based on those who have opted in. The intention is to expand into Year 8 in 2025. |
BELMONT HIGH SCHOOL
This year we are again supporting SRE at Belmont High School. Samantha Brown is employed 1 day per fortnight to teach at Belmont High and this year she is teaching both Year 7 and 8 for the first time. She also teaches SRE at Swansea High School and local primary schools. Sam has a heart to build meaningful relationships with young people and teach them about who Jesus is and how they can walk with him. |
2024 Support
Both schools continue to look for more churches in the area to come on board with finance and support. There also continues to be resistance to SRE in High Schools. There is a great need to get behind this ministry with prayer, and to recruit additional churches to support the work.
